Tactical Pack Two: Shadow War

General Kerezkovytch closed the cover of the envelope marked with the "Top Secret" stamp and snarled silently at his reflection in the window. Damn Snakes! he thought to himself. They'll push us over the brink and into a war bigger than this planet has ever seen. He picked up the handset of the desk comm and began punching codes into it. There was a soft electronic noise as someone answered. "Captain Hewlett, Operations. Secure Line."

"Captain Hewlett, this is General Kerezkovytch. What units are currently unattached at this time in this sector?"

"The only unit currently unattached is from the 45th Regiment, sir. Company-sized."

"Excellent! Do they have personnel available for covert operations?"

There was a brief pause at the other end of the line. "Begging the General's pardon, sir, but they're test pilots and training cadre evaluating new procedures. I seriously doubt they are prepared for combat, much less covert combat..."

"I'll tell you a little something special about the 45th later, Captain. And prepare the following operations orders..."

Turning his comm switch to the "off" position, General Kerezkovytch leaned back in his chair and mumbled something incoherent about madmen and snakes...

The Shadow War tactical campaign pack is a full tactical campaign for use with the Heavy Gear tactical system. The booklet features two brand new units, the 42nd Combined Company (Death Jesters) and the 68th Companie (Chasseurs d'Ombres), and a bundle of scenarios that can be played independently or as part of the campaign. The pack also includes two maps and three counter sheets.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
